21st century motherhood

Oh boy! The challenge of being a mother in 21st century is so damn high.

Then* mom worries if the kids go to school or not* mom worries if the kids smoking or not* mom worries if the kids get good grades or not* mom worries if the kids are healthy or not* mom worries if the kids eat or not

Now* mom worries when the kids are connected to the internet* mom worries when the kids good grades are not enough to go to a great school* mom worries when the kids keep asking when am I going to have a facebook account* mom worries when kids play outside the house* mom worries when kids stay lock up in their room* mom worries when kids can learn anything they want at their finger tips* mom worries when the kids keep asking for a hand phone when they are only 8 years old* mom worries when all they care about is playing computer games* mom worries when the kids choose computer rather than reading a book

* mom worries when there’s nothing they can do to protect their kids from the world* mom worries with what kind of people the kids will interact on cyberspace* mom worries with what kind of information the kids will share on public domain* mom worries if the kids can make the right choice / decisions when there’s so many too choose from

and.. I’m sure there’s many more that moms worry about right this minute. All I can do is guide them and pray that they will make the right choice.
